TX JENNYWREN'S NEST: You Brighten My Day

HEY BLOGGIES,

Hope you are enjoying our three day blog hop. If you missed yesterday, just scroll down to my post below this one and you can start there.

BLOG CANDY ALERT: I am giving away blog candy. All you have to do is each day leave me a comment and at the end of three days I will draw a winner from those who commented on all three posts. You can add your comments up until midnight Wednesday for all three days for your chance to win. It is a brand new punch, some new ribbon and a few other things I am getting together.

I am very pleased with this card. I used the starburst from KINDA ECLECTIC as the light coming from the lightbulb. Then I stamped and fussy cut a lightbulb, colored it with my markers and added Crystal Effects to make it shine like a glass bulb. Sponging crushed curry around the card added that last little color that this card needed.

This closeup helps you see the shine from the Crystal Effects and how silky the new Hello Honey satin stitched ribbon is. I love this new ribbon.

I used my small banner punch to punch out the YAY! that I stamped from this set. And a circle punch was used to make the arched banner with the sentiment. Hope you enjoyed this card. Here is another one with the same stamp set:

I saw this idea using this Sale-a-Bration Set from an International stamper. I changed it up a bit to make it my own. I used smoky slate ink stamped off once for the stars and the light bulbs. I used YOU BRIGHTEN MY DAY which is FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.

I stamped on Vellum Card Stock with my CONGRATS and SO HAPPY FOR YOU from another Sale-a-Bration Set called SIMPLY WONDERFUL, WHICH YOU CAN ALSO GET FREE WITH A $50 ORDER!!
